Beautiful, Wonderful, Strong Little Me will empower the reader to celebrate what makes each one of us unique. Our outward appearance is only one part of the wondrous complexity of who we are. Lilly knows who she is; she loves who she is and doesn’t find it at all necessary to fit neatly into someone else’s box. I like Lilly because she is cool and confident, and has a joy about her that is unmistakably genuine.

Readers will enjoy getting to know Lilly in this debut picture book by Hannah Carmona Dias. It is filled with rhythmic lines and playful illustrations by Dolly Georgieva-Gode. At the book’s end, readers are encouraged to think of positive words to describe themselves. There’s even a frame that readers can use to draw a picture too. As a librarian, I love that there’s a note below the frame that tells the reader to copy the page first, if the copy of the book they’re reading is a library book.

This book also has a feature by which you can use a code to create a personalized audio recording through the StorySticker app.

I am a K-5 Librarian who loves to read & review books. I read everything from Picture Books and KidLit, to MGLIt, and YA. I am a Member of #BookExcursion; a group of 10 educational leaders who read, review, and promote the books we read on Social Media and in our communities. I run several book clubs during the school year and summer. This year, I am a #ProjectLitCommunity Site Leader and am partnering with 50+ educators to increase access to and read great books. I was also a member of Blink YA's launch team for Solo by Kwame Alexander and am now a Streat Team member for Lindsay Currie's, The Peculiar Incident on Shady Street. Every day, I read for enjoyment.
